Wines to know
The range in view
Dourthe N°1 is made entirely from Sauvignon Blanc. Lemon and grapefruit lead its citrus aromas, followed by fruity richness, a long aromatic finish and a hint of salinity.
Essence de Dourthe has a deep, concentrated appearance with crimson tinting. Its bouquet combines ripe, fresh black berries with spicy notes. Black cherry and blackcurrant emerge across a smooth palate, accented by delicate sweet spice.
